Soaping Day

I spent the day making:
Laundry Soap Gel
Lavender Olive Oil Goat's Milk Soap
Cleopatra Goat's Milk Soap (contains honey and a blend of floral essential oils, pure luxury!)

The weather was foggy, but pleasant. Missy, our new horse is settling in well. The three Saanen goats are due to kid mid-February and are healthy and content. I have 6 Sar Planinac (livestock guardian dogs) puppies ready to go to new homes. What wonderful little teddy bears!

Dinner:
Gianni's Greek Baked Beans (Gigantes sto fourno) (giant white beans boiled then mixed with chunky tomato sauce, onion, parsley, olive oil, salt & pepper and baked until beans are tender)
steamed dandelion greens with hot pepper vinegar & olive oil
beets & beet greens boiled and served with minced garlic, balsamic vinegar & olive oil
salad (lettuce, green onion, fresh dill, lemon juice & olive oil)
Yum!

I love to see your recipe for the Lavender Goat's Milk Soap!
I would like to learn to make my own soap. I make homemade laundry soap but I haven't learned a recipe for bar soap.
My goats are going to kid soon.
